Thanks! smile.gif Personally, I would dislike this hat with a more modern-leaning suit. I think it suits either more traditional, country or oddball wear (IE: mixed together). I wasn't quite sure about the hat at first; the hight, width or something else seemed off, but, as it was £50, I caved! smile.giftongue.gif

Citan1145, the trousers are the 'tailored' chinos from Charles Tyrwhitt (I love their customer service, and they're relatively cheap!), and are still being sold there, I believe. The SC is CT, too, but not being sold, AFAIK. The only problem, I find, with CT SCs is, that they tend, to be a bit boxy in the waist area; I could always get it taken in an inch. puzzled.gif

Self-masturbatory thanks, to every who gave kudos! smile.gif

a nice look, but please be honest, is there a string or thread between your thumb and index finger of your right hand that is holding open the jacket bottom to give it that blowing in the wind look?

I'd love to get feedback on this outfit. Fit feels good, but I'm not always confident in my color and pattern coordination.

Full length w/ deets (Click to show)
675

The Deets
Jacket: Adrian Jules
Shirt: Brooks Brothers
Tie: Vanda
Square: Brioni
Pants: Dockers shog[1].gif
Shoes: Ferragamo

I'm trying to find a trouser cut that is somewhat trim, but still fits my "generously proportioned" rear and thighs. I've got a pair of Epaulet Rudy's, but they're still a bit snug when I have the waist right.

Are you wearing 4 bracelets and crazy socks too? It's a lot to process. Where are you wearing this again? Maybe that will make me figure it out. I get what you're trying to do, I just hope you're not doing it in a CPA office or somewhere like that.

I get my fair share of suggestions and criticism, which i really like learning from, so please don't take this the wrong way Southernstyle, but I think you would benefit from recreating a movement from last fall in this thread. The "Tone it the fuck down day" movement. I just get the sense you have alot of cool pieces and toss them together in a unique way, but it really makes it hard to follow your outfit sometimes. I learned a while back that having some grounding elements (a solid tie, shirt, sock etc.) is better than having a pattern and color explosion everywhere. I would be interested to see where you are wearing this too. If it is just for fun, go for it I guess. But I can't help but think you could refine your unique taste and courage to wear interesting colors and styles into something more cohesive and exceptional!

Pour the criticism on, thats the only way anyone can learn. I like the majority of my pants with no break and am very aware and guilty of wearing some "funky shit." I work at a Southern haberdashery where I could wear 4 collars popped if I deemed it pleasing. I lack a decent amount of neckwear which stems from a low budget while I'm trying to buy more quality necessary pieces to my wardrobe (trousers, jackets, etc...) this leads to sometimes wearing some less than optimal tie choices. I'm 5' 6" which always leaves my narrow blade longer, I have tucked the narrow side into my trousers my last couple of outing and I'm sure you will find my fit today more "toned the fuck down." To answer your question I only wear two bracelets, one woven leather and one crocodile with my surname "IV" engraved on it. shog[1].gifbiggrin.gif I have Forest Green Belgians on to keep my sprezz engaged but to SF's satisfaction my pants do have a slight break today.

I too sometimes rock the longer blade with no shame. I think your look would translate better with better pics quality. I clearly see what you are trying to do.. and I get it... but I think it's taken out of context because of the background and your (no offense) shitty pic quality.

I would try to find a better spot to take your pics so the igents get it. I would check out Barims' pics for reference. He is great example.

Barima is a great example, but not of taking photographs of yourself since he does not do that.
